Examples

if (FALSE) {
	attach( javaImport( "java.util" ), pos = 2 , name = "java:java.util" )
	
	# now we can just do something like this 
	v <- new( Vector )
	v$add( "foobar" )
	ls( pos = 2 )
	
	# or this
	m <- new( HashMap )
	m$put( "foo", "bar" )
	ls( pos = 2 )
	
	# or even this :
	Collections$EMPTY_MAP
}
